NvChad terminal Plugin

Install

• Simply install the plugin with packer as you would for any other:

use {
  "NvChad/nvterm",
  config = function ()
    require("nvterm").setup()
  end,
}

Configuration

• Pass a table of configuration options to the plugin's .setup() function above.
• Default configuration table

require("nvterm").setup({
  terminals = {
    shell = vim.o.shell,
    list = {},
    type_opts = {
      float = {
        relative = 'editor',
        row = 0.3,
        col = 0.25,
        width = 0.5,
        height = 0.4,
        border = "single",
      },
      horizontal = { location = "rightbelow", split_ratio = .3, },
      vertical = { location = "rightbelow", split_ratio = .5 },
    }
  },
  behavior = {
    autoclose_on_quit = {
      enabled = false,
      confirm = true,
    },
    close_on_exit = true,
    auto_insert = true,
  },
})

require("nvterm").setup({
  float = {
    relative = 'editor',
    row = 0.3,
    col = 0.25,
    width = 0.5,
    height = 0.4,
    border = "single",
  },
  horizontal = { location = "rightbelow", split_ratio = .3, },
  vertical = { location = "rightbelow", split_ratio = .5 },
})

is equivalent to:

require("nvterm").setup({
  terminals = {
    type_opts = {
      float = {
        relative = 'editor',
        row = 0.3,
        col = 0.25,
        width = 0.5,
        height = 0.4,
        border = "single",
      },
      horizontal = { location = "rightbelow", split_ratio = .3, },
      vertical = { location = "rightbelow", split_ratio = .5 },
    },
  },
  toggle {
    horizontal = "<A-s>",
  },
})

Functions

Use the below functions to map them for keybindings

Toggle

require("nvterm.terminal").toggle "float"
require("nvterm.terminal").toggle "horizontal"
require("nvterm.terminal").toggle "vertical"

Spawn new terminals

require("nvterm.terminal").new "horizontal"
require("nvterm.terminal").new "vertical"

Additional Functionality

NvTerm provides an api for you to send commands to the terminal. You can create different ones for different filetypes like so:

require("nvterm").setup()

local terminal = require("nvterm.terminal")

local ft_cmds = {
  python = "python3 " .. vim.fn.expand('%'),
  ...
  <your commands here>
}
local toggle_modes = {'n', 't'}
local mappings = {
  { 'n', '<C-l>', function () require("nvterm.terminal").send(ft_cmds[vim.bo.filetype]) end },
  { toggle_modes, '<A-h>', function () require("nvterm.terminal").toggle('horizontal') end },
  { toggle_modes, '<A-v>', function () require("nvterm.terminal").toggle('vertical') end },
  { toggle_modes, '<A-i>', function () require("nvterm.terminal").toggle('float') end },
}
local opts = { noremap = true, silent = true }
for _, mapping in ipairs(mappings) do
  vim.keymap.set(mapping[1], mapping[2], mapping[3], opts)
end

terminal.send also takes a 'type' parameter, so you can choose what type of terminal to send the command to. By default, it runs the command in the last opened terminal, or a vertical one if none exist. terminal.send(ft_cmds[vim.bo.filetype], "float") will run the command in a floating terminal
